Hi everyone
Here are mine for today.
Kiwiblue I'm so pleased to hear about your husbands news.
1. Had a lovely FREE day at the Royal Armouries with dh and ds.
2. Flew a kite in a rainy Roundhay Park.
3. Really enjoying having dh at home he's taken 5 days off to use up his hols.
4. Enjoyed spending time with my boy and showing him places he's never been to before.
5. Counting my blessings about having my boy particularly after reading the thread on IVF/lifestyle choice thread. Some very hurtful stuff on there.
6. One more, got confirmation of our hols in sunny Anglesey today - hooray!!

Hi there folks

My five for today are:

1. DS2 waking up this morning with the giggles. I call him chuckles anyway but such a nice way to wake up.
2. My veggies are taking over the garden but in a good way.
3. The first of my courgettes are there, not long now!!
4. My new phone sends the best little animations in texts. Simple things amuse me.
5. Realising I have less money than I thought in my account. but not being stressed as I have this site and people to help guide me the right way to get through the month with their pearls of wisdom.

Thanks to you all x

My five pleasures over the weekend.

1. Family to lunch on Sunday when I cooked my half price (£4.50)chicken.

2. Card making with DGD on Sunday afternoon - she loves it.

3. Homemade (Remoska) scones with jam and cream for tea - yum.

4. Going to DGD's birthday tea yesterday, a 'proper' OS one with jelly and ice cream and a homemade cake with Miffy sitting on the top. Clever DS.

5. Chicken also did dinner for two yesterday, lunch for two today and rissoles for dinner tonight. The carcass will go in the SC tonight.

My pleasures for today
1. Had a lovely night's sleep with my wonderful DH as he returned home yesterday having been away for a week.

4. Estate agent camne round so we are one step closer to the house going on the market.

Evening all,

Sorry to have been absent, the MonsterInLaw was here and i was trying to be polite and not use my computer (goodness knows why i bothered though as she didn't even thank me when i dropped her at the station this morning :mad:)

My pleasures today are

1. Gettting my 'home' back. MIL is a very ominmous presence and insists on treating my house like her home (despite only visiting annually :j) helping herself here there and everywhere and poking around in all my cupboards and crannies, i honestly felt like i had no privacy, so was very grateful that i have the opportunity for privacy at all when others have none.
2. Getting my children back. It was difficult to get a look in over the weekend and i missed cuddling my son so much. I do appreciate that he is a grandson too, but he's still my ickle baby and i find it difficult to share especially when i know he loves my cuddles the best.
3. Hanging my little ones washing on the line to dry, i always feel tickled when washing their teeny tiny clothes.
4. Finishing the remains of my HM banoffee pie tonight whilst watching tv. I made it as a gift for MIL and hadn't expected to be left any.
5. Playgroup today, it wasn't especially special or more wonderful than normal, but it was lovely to get back to normality and enjoy my day, doing what i wanted to do, when i wanted to do it.

Hope you all enjoyed your bank holiday weekends!!!

Hiya all
Finally Ive managed to get back on here so here are my pleasures for the last few days;
1) The glorious weather at the weekend allowing me to dry my washing on the line. :cool:
2) Spent a whole day ironing & finally got to the bottom of my ironing pile. :j
3) Exchanged some Tesco clubcard vouchers for Cineworld tickets & went to the flicks to watch Wolverine film - I really enjoyed the few hours out of the house watching the big screen & holding hands with dh (we realised that it had been 3 years since we last went the flicks together - doesn't time fly when your a parent!)
4) This pleasure ties in with above pleasure but deserves a mention on its own - watching/admiring the gorgeous Hugh Jackman on the big screen - need I say anymore :blushing:
5) Having a visit from dsis & dniece who have been away on holiday & realising just how much I had missed them - Especially loved the big hug from dniece. :happylove
6) Having an extra day with dh due to bank holiday weekend.
7) Watching Ashes to Ashes on tv last night & loving the 80's clothes, music & of course DCI Gene Hunt :blushing:
8) Watching Born To Be Different on tv & realising how lucky & blessed I am to have given birth to a healthy child. :heart2:

Hope your blessings are plentiful. x

My 5 for today:

- Got my BBC Homes magazine from my subscription - courtesy of Tesco Clubcard through today - something to read with my coffee later.
- Going out to feed the chickens this morning and being greeted with four very-happy-to-see-me chickens who lined up to have their backs stroked.
- Seeing the sunshine and looking forward to a day in the garden
- Harvesting some mange tout from the garden for dinner
- Planting my Mum's roses (at last) into position in the garden. She will be chuffed!
